Nico ...

By backport do you mean grab the .26 src rpm and then build off that
spec with .24 sources etc? I did try that on a rhel 5 system (aha!) by
changing the version in the spec and putting the .24 src tarball in
... but finally got stuck with:

error: Failed build dependencies:
        jakarta-commons-dbcp-tomcat5 is needed by tomcat6-6.0.24-1.noarch
        jakarta-commons-pool-tomcat5 is needed by tomcat6-6.0.24-1.noarch

But i got this from the 5 branch i think ...
(tomcat6-6.0.26-1.jpp5.src.rpm from
http://jpackage.org/browser/rpm.php?jppversion=5.0-updates&id=8588) so
should a backport work on rhel5?
